A sonic journey into the darkest recesses of the Philippines, where ancient island folklore meets the nightmare and madness of the colonizers. Pinoy Horror Stories brings back to light ancestral creatures, abominable pacts, unsettling presences and lost cities, narrated through the rarefied and creeping atmosphere of early 20th-century literature. An immersive experience crafted for those who seek elegant, subtly disturbing cosmic horror, accompanied by a terrifying soundtrack and original sound effects.
Press Play and let yourself be swallowed by the shadows of the Pacific... if you dare.
Some trees are old. Others are sacred. And a few... are prisons.
Behind the iron gates of her sprawling beachfront estate, Karen da Sousa reigns as an undisputed tyrant over her realm of luxury in Siargao paradise.
Annoyed on a sun-drenched afternoon by the deafening chorus of hundreds of birds nesting in the majestic, ancient Acacia tree in her garden, Karen gives a ruthless command: cut it down.
But the tree was never hers to destroy. As the ancient wood falls, a sanctuary is shattered, and a sleeping nightmare is unleashed upon the estate.

The Disappearances of Rizal - Part 2
Some monsters are legend. Others walk among us.
Rizal Province, March 6, 1750. The quiet morning of San Mateo is shattered when a young girl emerges from the jungle, caked in mud, bearing the marks of an unspeakable violence. As panic grips the colonial outpost, terrifying whispers sweep through the village: is the mythical Tikbalang hunting human flesh, or is a human monster hiding behind an ancient legend?
To solve the atrocity, two men with opposing worldviews are forced into an uneasy alliance: Father Juan Francisco, a devout monk torn between faith and fear, and Alcalde Alfonso de Córdoba, a pragmatic magistrate sent from Manila to restore order.
Put on your headphones. Step into the 18th-century Philippines. The forest is waiting.

The Unspeakable of Parañaque - Part 2
Some mirrors don't reflect. They hunt.
Manila, 1990. A string of high-profile disappearances targeting young college students leaves the city on edge. When Lieutenant Edmundo Reyes traces the final steps of the victims, all signs point to a newly opened, strangely hollow Ayala Mall in Parañaque.
What begins as a high-stakes missing persons investigation quickly devolves into a waking nightmare. Beneath the neon lights and glossy store fronts lies a predator older than the city itself. An ancient Manananggal is hunting from behind the glass—and once you catch its gaze in the mirror, there is no coming back.
Put on your headphones. Look away from the reflection. Press play.
